[scosby2]

Tooo many but right at this moment:

"its the art of feeling naked, in your clothes."

Definitely my favorite lyric

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

alright I've come to the conclusion these are my favorite my morning jacket lyrics of all time:

"On the way back home...
How long did it seem?
3 days or 4? snow glazed all the trees
My mother held me... like a motorcycle, so warm...
We sang melody...
Campin out all night... slow moves in the light...
Of all the things that you've seen...
Was the motorcycle so warm you sang melody?
At that moment I'd know... just how close we could be
And though it always was mine... it always seemed new to me
10,000 colors in all... eyes like caves on my cheeks
To all the people i've loved... don't think poor of me
It wasn't till I woke up...
That I could hold down a joke or a job or a dream
But then all three are one in the same
And all then are one in the same
And all us are one in the same"

I bolded my favorite lines from it.  I tripped out to it still moves once on mushrooms with my friend and that song syncronized perfectly with the snow and cold outside,  it was.. beautiful.  I should add steam engine made the ceiling appear to be a blue sky with white clouds, the light fixtures had turned into UFO's.  Rollin Back made the lights in the room turn yellow which is weird, you'd figure golden would have done that... or made it did.  fart.

"it wasn't till I woke up...
that I could hold down a joke or a job or a dream
but then all three are one in the same"

I like your style.

re: the steam engine lyrics....in st. aug when jim sang "with the boar and the moving trees" the wind picked up and was whipping through the pit and all the trees outside the amphitheater were going nuts.  unreal.  i almost lost my mind when that happened.  god i love this fucking band.  its a religious and spiritual experience every time i see them and it only gets better each time.  god bless 'em.

"your skin looks good in moonlight
and god damn those shaky knees
the fact that my heart's beating
is all the proof you need"

He never forgot the moment that made him write these words, because whenever he sings this song he feels it. And it kills me every single freaking time I hear it.


It's the art of feelin naked in your clothes

And just because.

Yep, yep, yep.

Sigh.   :)

"it matters to me
took a long time to get here
but if it would have been easy, i would not have cared"

[touchingmept2]

"So I watch you through the bookcase, imagining a scene. You and I at dinner, spending time, then to sleep."        I could only imagine what he was thinking when he penned these lyrics...

[bowl of soup]

Deep in my heart....that's where the knot comes loose.

That's an excellent line, perfect song.

Yes, yes it is.  Gets me every time!

Holy mother of god.  You guys are so right.  I just flipped a nut realizing that I'll hear Knot live in October!!!!!

This.  Tied with "The fact that my heart's...."

[trippin from shroomin]

"I'm going where there ain't no disease
I'm going where there ain't no police
I'm going where there ain't no need
to escape from what is only spirits at ease"

[buster douglas]

first I was an ancient
then I was an infant
now I am alive

[evilurges86]

oh goody!! i love this thread
i have two favorites

You, somewhere in the future listening
I hope the present for you is glistening
With notes that ring so true
This slow, slow tune
Slow, slow tune

[evilurges86]

and....

Whooo! I made a nasty decision
To love whoever I want just-a whenever I can 

i can relate in many ways

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

I'm hooked on fo'... like one, two, three.

[evilurges86]

"I'm going where there ain't no disease
I'm going where there ain't no police
I'm going where there ain't no need
to escape from what is only spirits at ease"

looooove those lyrics..... "I'm going where the living is easy and the people are kind.... "(Alpheratta here we come 8/20!!!)

[megalicious]

"the fact that my heart's beatin' is all the proof you need"
Not to get all cheese-whiz on y'all, but this lyric has helped me through some tough times. I've been through health problems, had my heart broken, had to start over again and again... this lyric serves to remind me that no matter what happens, I'm going to be okay.

also of note:

"For all your days I wish you blindness from all the evil in the world"

"It's not the way that he sings, not the words that he says, or the band. I'm in love with his soul; It's a meaning that I understand"

"Always startin' over, but somehow I always know where to begin."

"Somewhere someone thinks of me, I just wish it was somewhere I could find."
